Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracking.Use washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Allow for slight thermal expansion.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can damage the polycarbonate.Employ mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic machine guarding
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic systems
  • Protective enclosures for pneumatic controls

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to UV radiation for extended periods without appropriate UV protection, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkalis and certain organic solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
